I have viewed the Peter Pig videos concerning their updated PBI rules and it appears that there is a number of revised aspects of the 2025 rules from the 2015 version. Has anyone gotten a copy yet? (Currently only a PDF version is available)
Other than how mortars and artillery is handled and a few changes to activation that I have gleaned from the videos, are there many other changes? Any comments on how it plays versus the older version?
thanks!

Hello Bob
Here are some of the differences.
Fewer asset types.
Different motivation D6 system.
Reinforcement rolls.
Assault D6 can be re-rolled
Taking cover added.
Tank opportunity shooting changed.
Company commander rules changed.
HE changed.
Morale changed.

The skeleton and play is similar but the rules have multiple differences.

A great game. We had an 11 player contest at Entoyment last weekend.
10 games played, desert theme. Italians, DAK and 8th army et al.
